QAETAC is tasked with promoting a culture of excellence that reflects the Woolf QA policy in line with the Woolf Mission Statement. QAETAC is responsible for ensuring that policies will lead to higher quality outcomes for students and faculty members across all levels of the institution.
QAETAC formulates adjustments to existing policy, or to its implementation, and delivers these recommendations to the Board of Directors, except where the committee determines that a vote should first be proposed in Council.
QAETAC reviews student feedback gathered through on-going monitoring and period survey, which is elicited at the end of all modules, and QAETAC elicits faculty feedback twice per year. Surveys provide both students and faculty members the opportunity to make recommendations beyond the survey questions.
Collegiate higher education institutions are not new. Woolf is modeled on the University of Oxford and the University of London.
Colleges have specific freedoms to admit qualifying faculty and students. All colleges are equally governed by the central institution and QA Policy.
The committee responsible for monitoring and improving quality across the institution is the Quality Assurance, Enhancement, and Technology Alignment Committee (QAETAC). QAETAC is composed of two Faculty Representatives elected by the Faculty Council from the membership of the Faculty Council; student input, which is invited by the Faculty Representatives on the basis of student surveys; the Head of Institution (ex officio); the Secretary of Woolf (ex officio); and the Advisor for Equality and Diversity, appointed by the Head of Institution. The Committee passes its recommendations directly to the Board of Directors, except where the committee determines that a vote must first be proposed in Council. The committee holds regular meetings twice per year, and extraordinary meetings once per month, at the discretion of the chairman of the meeting.
